Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers
Michael is an internationally renowned dog trainer, and teacher of dog trainers, with over forty years of experience in competitive dog sports, practical working dog training, and companion dog training. He has taught extensively to a very diverse group of trainers, from competitive sport trainers, police departments, and the US Military, to search and rescue groups, service dog organizations, and pet dog trainers. Michael’s broad experience, as well as his clear, concise, and patient teaching style, have made him one of the most popular coaches of trainers in the world.
Before opening the highly respected Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers (MES) in 2009, he traveled full time for more than 12 years helping other trainers improve their skills. That’s over 300 seminars in the US, Canada, Europe, South America, Mexico, and Australia. As a result, Michael has exerted a significant influence on the dog training culture internationally, and has been one of the driving forces in popularizing reward-based training systems for protection sports, as well as being an advocate for thoughtful training methodologies across all disciplines.
He has bred Malinois for thirty years under the kennel name Loups du Soleil, one of the most successful breeders of working Malinois in North America.
